00:00:02.600 My center, my soul is gone.
00:00:06.320 From Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan.
00:00:09.700 Mine is not a family designed to withstand tragedy.

00:00:19.460 The worry is what you do next.

00:00:26.480 New series now streaming only on Paramount+.
00:00:30.400 Folks, if you're traveling, if you're traveling and you're at the airport, things are not looking good.
00:00:37.160 Rob, if you want to play some of these clips, we've got a couple of clips to go through.
00:00:39.720 So TSA, I don't know how many videos I saw.
00:00:43.800 Vinny, did you see some of these videos?
00:00:45.000 I know you retweeted one of them.
00:00:47.000 Are you kidding me?
00:00:48.120 You look at these videos and it almost doesn't look real.
00:00:51.380 They're walking all, I saw one, the guys walking all the way down.
00:00:56.380 Three hour wait at TSA.
00:00:59.200 In the basement.
00:00:59.940 To travel.
00:01:00.560 Three-hour wait at the TSA.
00:01:02.980 Tom, you went to the airport this morning.
00:01:04.560 You were there at 345 in the morning, okay, to drop off your daughter.
00:01:08.320 What was it like when you guys got there this morning?
00:01:10.540 This is, by the way, you know, Middle Eastern fathers,
00:01:13.660 we could have a 30-minute flight from Burbank to Vegas.
00:01:16.440 My dad wants to get there six hours before.
00:01:18.160 If you're Middle Eastern, you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:20.080 Dad, the flight's at 2.
00:01:21.300 Let's get there at 6 a.m.
00:01:22.600 We have plenty of time.
00:01:23.700 We'll get there at 145.
00:01:24.760 No, we'll get there at 6 a.m.
00:01:26.360 Until you got there at 345, what was the airport like?
00:01:28.600 this morning. Yeah, spring break's over for Bailey, back to classes today. So she wanted to be on the
00:01:33.580 first flight, the early flight, for two reasons. One, she gets her early enough for class. But 0.74
00:01:37.720 second, we were kind of worried about this. So we got to Fort Lauderdale, to the Southwest
00:01:43.940 Terminal at 345. Why? Because TSA opens at 4 a.m. And then she had like a 530 flight, so she wanted
00:01:50.840 plenty of time to be first in line. We pull up to the curb, and you've been there, right? We've all
00:01:56.220 into fort lauderdale the cars were too deep you know i'm saying two cars deep stop side by side
00:02:02.420 you know i'm saying we're at the curb unloading people and everything and i'm like oh my goodness
00:02:07.160 look at the crowd and so we get her out kim weaves into the curb i get her out i walk through the 0.87
00:02:13.340 double doors with her so i could look inside and i'm like oh boy i said bailey call us and let us
00:02:18.640 know if you get stuck and you don't make the flight you know call us we'll loop around and
00:02:22.480 get you um we'll come back but it was huge and she texted us and let us know tsa didn't get open
00:02:30.160 until 4 15 then tsa pre-check you know got open after that and she got through and she made her 0.92
00:02:36.980 flight but she says i was looking back dad and there were people i know they didn't make it i
00:02:41.920 know they didn't make it because the number of people that were there and that was just by the
00:02:46.160 way that's the first flight and the first people that were at fort lauderdale airport today the
00:02:51.980 First, can you imagine what it's like right now, with the whole airport open, and it's not just the first flights leaving, flights are coming in, going out.
00:03:00.640 I just can't imagine what it's like right now.
00:03:04.080 And this is, you know, thank you, Elon Musk and other people who are offering to help and doing things.
00:03:10.020 But I'll tell you, Pat, I've never seen it like that.
00:03:13.420 Do you know how much of, you know, I don't think people understand how much of a problem and how much of a soft target this opens up, Tom.
00:03:19.880 These are crowded, crowded airports. 0.87
00:03:23.200 They don't have the freaking security. 0.65
00:03:24.600 TSA, by the way, the TSA people that are showing up, Tom, they're not getting a paycheck. 0.99
00:03:28.580 They're coming just because of the goodness of their freaking hearts. 0.76
00:03:31.260 And I want everybody to understand this. 0.95
00:03:33.560 Everybody, wherever you are listening to this, take a second and understand this is what happens when Democrats care more about power than your life in this country.
00:03:45.200 Okay, we keep talking about America and America first.
00:03:47.440 They don't give a damn, okay?
00:03:49.380 They don't want to approve the Save America Act.
00:03:51.680 You know why?
00:03:52.300 Because it's going to help illegals vote. 0.96
00:03:55.160 They need these illegals to vote in elections to keep the power full stop, okay? 0.99
00:04:01.040 We just want people to prove that they're citizens, and the Democrats said, oh, really?
00:04:05.980 Guess what?
00:04:06.720 Shut it down.
00:04:08.040 Shut it down, and anybody telling you otherwise is full of you-know-what, okay?
00:04:12.260 Thank God Elon Musk is at least offering to pay these TSA agents, but Tom, would you
00:04:17.440 feel safe?
00:04:18.120 Like, I get it. My mom and my sister are coming here on Wednesday.
00:04:21.060 I don't feel safe for these people.
00:04:23.340 There's packed. It's packed with people.
00:04:25.400 It takes one person to just creep in there and do something stupid. 1.00
00:04:28.360 And that's it. 0.99
00:04:29.100 I agree with that because these crowds were waiting for the baggage drop at Southwest.
00:04:34.360 They're waiting for the kiosk at Southwest.
00:04:36.480 And then they're also waiting for the TSA.
00:04:38.720 And so if I was some loon walking in, man, it is a mass casualty environment
00:04:44.980 because there's no security out there.
00:04:46.680 There are cops out there that are more worried about all these vehicles that are stopping at the curb.
00:04:51.600 Hey, if you've dropped your person, get out of here.
00:04:53.960 You know what I'm saying?
00:04:54.500 They're trying to keep the traffic moving.
00:04:56.340 But that is not just a soft target.
00:04:59.420 That's a juicy target.
00:05:00.740 It's terrible.
00:05:01.780 I would hate to see something like that.
00:05:03.940 But this is what you have now.
00:05:06.940 And at least they've said, hey, ICE is going to come, and they're going to do some of the crowd control and some things like this to help.
00:05:13.420 But you know what?
00:05:14.140 We need that the shutdown to be over.
00:05:19.520 And I saw a tweet.
00:05:20.880 I'm not going to repeat it, but I am going to say the name.
00:05:23.340 It was AOC.
00:05:24.540 There was a tweet that was attributed to her from a year ago.
00:05:27.960 And if the tweet was true, her sentiments were very clear that she was pleased that the American people need this pain so they could be broken for their size.
00:05:39.740 And so, if that's really what her position was, that disgusts me.
00:05:46.820 Yeah, Rob, while you're finding that, can you do me a favor?
00:05:49.520 So, today, this morning, right now, at ATL, you know how long the line is right now?
00:05:53.700 At ATL, allegedly, based on what these reports are coming in?
00:05:57.160 Six hours.
00:05:59.380 Six hours.
00:06:00.000 Rob, is this ATL?
00:06:01.020 Yes, sir.
00:06:01.380 Go for it.
00:06:01.780 Watch this.
00:06:02.440 Number one busiest airport, I think, now.
00:06:04.040 Look at this, Vinny.
00:06:05.800 This is, the TSA line is at the baggage claim, is where it's going to now.
00:06:11.760 They're like, hey, just line up, because they have to get that going.
00:06:14.160 Go to the other one.
00:06:15.840 I sent you one from one hour ago.
00:06:17.340 I sent you one from literally one hour ago.
00:06:20.160 Not this one.
00:06:20.980 The other one, that's the one right there.
00:06:22.220 Watch this one.
00:06:22.860 Go ahead.
00:06:24.040 Vinny, look at this.
00:06:25.740 Outside of the tail.
00:06:26.620 Oh, my God.
00:06:27.940 Pat, one machine on one person.
00:06:30.620 That's all it takes.
00:06:31.480 this is the this is the democrat party this is it you're in the line that is outside going in
00:06:40.280 then goes around baggage claim then goes around oh my god so anyways that's pretty nasty adam your
00:06:48.080 thoughts it's ugly man it is at the end of the day it comes down to one question how long is
00:06:53.300 somebody willing to work for free because these people aren't getting paid right no whether it's
00:06:58.840 the staff what's the airport it's a tsa it's security so at what point are you gonna be like
00:07:03.080 yeah dude i don't know what's gonna happen here but because here's how i think it works you know
00:07:06.920 some people start saying yeah i'm not feeling so good i'm calling out sick i'm gonna take my uh
00:07:11.960 my two-week vacation now all right and then the loyal people were like man this is my job i've
00:07:17.660 been doing this 20 years i it's all i know all right i'm i'm staying man i'm staying the job
00:07:23.520 or two weeks, three weeks.
00:07:25.700 At what point is someone like, dude, no.
00:07:28.020 And then the boss is like, I'm telling you, it's happening soon.
00:07:31.800 Stay, don't leave.
00:07:33.160 Are they going to get back pay?
00:07:35.280 I assume they're going to get back pay, right?
00:07:37.100 I don't know.
00:07:37.880 That's going to happen, right, Tom?
00:07:39.160 I don't know how that happens.
00:07:39.880 There's going to be back pay?
00:07:41.460 I believe there's a back pay.
00:07:43.260 Well, you know, they say payback's a...
00:07:45.000 Yeah.
00:07:45.420 So let's see what happens there.
00:07:46.660 But you know what I think is going to happen?
00:07:48.420 What?
00:07:48.680 I think the Elon Musks of the world,
00:07:51.320 who are basically saying that they're going to pay back pay or whatever it is.
00:07:54.720 All the chat GPTs, all the AI people are going to look and say,
00:08:01.140 it's our perfect opening, guys.
00:08:04.060 Why do we need people doing security?
00:08:06.380 Let's just make more AI, make more robots. 0.76
00:08:09.360 They're not going to call out sick.
00:08:11.160 They're not going to worry about back pay.
00:08:12.720 So this might end up biting these people, our TSA workers and our employees, 0.99
00:08:19.480 end up biting them in the butt, so to speak, 0.98
00:08:22.560 because they're going to come up with ways 0.99
00:08:24.120 to basically outmaneuver humans
00:08:26.120 having to be the security guard.
00:08:27.340 But think of the message that the Democratic Party
00:08:29.460 is saying to the American people.
00:08:31.040 They're saying, we are going to fight
00:08:33.360 to have the elections be able...
00:08:36.180 Like, we don't want people to prove
00:08:37.660 that they belong in the country. 0.71
00:08:38.720 That's massive, though.
00:08:39.300 That is...
00:08:39.920 Because guess what?
00:08:40.820 You think the president's going to budge, Pat?
00:08:42.920 You think the president's going to budge for them?
00:08:45.300 This is it.
00:08:46.000 What is the core issue with it?
00:08:47.560 Because DHS has not been funded.
00:08:49.320 Is that what this comes down to?
00:08:50.220 Partially shut down because DHS.
00:08:51.580 Okay, and DHS is TSA, ICE, immigration, the border.
00:08:54.340 All of them.
00:08:54.640 All these things sort of catch-all on the umbrella.
00:08:57.480 And what are they exactly arguing about in Congress right now?
00:09:00.900 The main argument, Adam, the main one, don't let people try to fool you,
00:09:05.380 is they are saying we want you to prove that you are a citizen.
00:09:10.280 Remember that debate that was going on?
00:09:11.660 But if I was married, they played that whole game.
00:09:13.860 You're saying this is part of the SAVE Act?
00:09:15.400 The SAVE America Act has the major to do with this.
00:09:18.520 So they're telling the voting
00:09:21.900 to...
00:09:23.000 What do the Democrats want to do?
00:09:25.160 They don't want you to...
00:09:26.220 What do you mean? Go look at...
00:09:27.160 They want everybody to be able to vote
00:09:31.060 and not prove your citizenship.
00:09:32.660 Full stop. That is it.
00:09:34.540 And this is what they're going to make people suffer.
00:09:35.920 I don't think that's been...
00:09:36.920 Is that what the core crux is through?
00:09:40.720 Is the DHS not being funded because of the SAVE Act?
00:09:44.400 Yes.
00:09:44.700 This is the whole thing.
00:09:45.640 It's a combination of things,
00:09:47.200 But it's the time-honored tradition that Chuck Schumer has had of create a shutdown and blame the other guy and then let issues happen to this department, that department.
00:09:57.160 American people can't go to the national parks because they're closed and then blame the administration.
00:10:01.800 That has been Chuck Schumer's tactic.
00:10:04.120 And I'm not making – I am not hyperbolic here.
00:10:08.300 You go back and look.
00:10:09.360 That has very carefully been his tactic, going back to the first Trump administration, where they actually argued about it in the Oval Office, where Trump said, I'll take it, Trump.
00:10:18.380 Exactly.
00:10:18.980 I'll take it, Chuck.
00:10:19.680 Make that me.
00:10:20.860 And there are Democrats that are now coming out against Schumer saying, look, this guy is long in the tooth and we can't have this because they're concerned about it.
00:10:28.860 They don't want that.
00:10:30.200 Well, that was what you said when you interviewed President Trump.
00:10:32.900 You said that was your favorite part of his administration, the reality TV thing.
00:10:35.860 Yeah.
00:10:36.140 Is that sort of a correlation of what's going on here?
00:10:37.760 We don't know.
00:10:38.260 I mean, this is Chuck Schumer here, if you want to see what he's saying.
00:10:40.400 Go ahead, Rob.
00:10:40.840 And by the way, there's a lot of people that want him out.
00:10:43.500 A lot of people that want him out.
00:10:44.820 Go for it.
00:10:45.540 Want the chaos at our airports to come down, yes or no?
00:10:50.980 If you've had enough of long lines, if you want TSA workers to get paid,
00:10:56.620 then vote yes on the motion I am bringing before the Senate today.
00:11:03.280 It is unacceptable for workers and travelers and entire airports to get taken hostage in political games.
00:11:11.220 By you.
00:11:11.640 But that's what the Republicans are doing.
00:11:14.220 It is unacceptable to say we will only pay TSA workers if it is attached to a bill that funds ICE with no reforms.
00:11:22.840 But that's what the Republicans have been doing.
00:11:26.380 Democrats want to pay TSA workers ASAP with no strings attached.
00:11:33.280 A yes vote would do that.
00:11:34.820 That's the first time in this chamber we'll have an opportunity to vote yes or no
00:11:40.900 on whether you want to pay TSA workers ASAP to post-strength attacks.
00:11:47.060 This is so deep, Rod.
00:11:48.420 Is everybody up there listening to what he's saying?
00:11:52.060 They don't want ICE to get funded because he wants reform.
00:11:56.240 They're, again, sticking up for illegals.
00:11:58.660 ICE's job is to get rid of illegal aliens. 0.96
00:12:02.100 and the fact that they're not,
00:12:03.700 and he's fighting for them to be able to vote in the election. 0.95
00:12:06.960 It's so blatantly obvious what this freaking guy is doing, 0.98
00:12:10.580 just like this guy too, freaking Hakeem Jeffries. 0.91
00:12:13.060 I want people to understand, because they have no policies,
00:12:16.220 because they have no actual leaders,
00:12:18.160 they have to rely on illegal votes.
00:12:21.140 Plain and simple, if you don't see it, you're freaking blind.
00:12:24.960 That is it.
00:12:25.920 If you're standing in a line right now at an airport
00:12:28.000 and you're freaking pissed off, 0.86
00:12:29.720 it's because of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
00:12:32.100 It's because of these people.
00:12:33.240 It's because of the AOCs.
00:12:34.740 Plain and simple.
00:12:35.520 There's no, like, smoke and mirrors around it.
00:12:38.040 That's what it is, Adam.
00:12:39.100 It sounds like it's crazy, but that's all it is.
00:12:41.100 There's a large percentage of the country that has TDS.
00:12:44.320 Oh, my God.
00:12:44.680 And they're going to blame it on Trump regardless.
00:12:46.460 Of course they are.
00:12:46.680 I know that you think this is obviously all on the Dems, and I totally get that.
00:12:50.980 But there's going to be people waiting in line.
00:12:52.540 They're going to be like, thanks, Trump.
00:12:54.060 No, it's not.
00:12:54.580 Because half these people don't even know who Chuck Schumer is.
00:12:56.300 Yeah, well, it's not Trump because Trump's not going to do it.
00:12:57.680 But they're going to think that.
00:12:58.720 Yeah, but the core of the argument is correct.
00:13:00.320 If you don't have a platform that you can sell, and this is a point that Pat's made many times, if you don't have a platform that you can sell to the voters, and the Dems don't, they're not buying what you're selling, then you need mob rule and more mob just to blindly vote.
00:13:18.760 Unbelievable.
00:13:19.380 So if you can't sell the independents that are there, then you just need a bigger mob on the other side to blindly vote.
00:13:25.440 And that's what illegal immigration does.
00:13:27.960 Yeah.
00:13:28.260 I mean, look, the reality of it is this is the folks that are traveling today going to airports.
00:13:33.980 Man, it's a terrible time to be.
00:13:35.760 This is 38 days of shutdown.
00:13:37.960 How long do you think this lasts, Pat?
00:13:39.620 FYI, United Airlines just announced that they're decreasing their amount of flights.
00:13:45.260 And some people are saying some airports may shut down during this time.
00:13:49.260 Oh, wow.
00:13:50.000 And this is actual, it's gotten to that point.
00:13:53.040 I don't know if there's a story that says that, Rob.
00:13:54.700 but I read it somewhere that some airports are planning on fully shutting down
00:13:58.980 and saying until we get it together.
00:14:00.480 Can you imagine if all of a sudden there's no travel?
00:14:03.360 Some smaller airports are saying this is not sustainable.
00:14:06.660 This is not sustainable.
00:14:07.840 Rob, do you have that?
00:14:08.480 Is it a story or a clip that we have?
00:14:10.800 I have a clip, 47.
00:14:12.480 Hang on.
00:14:13.060 While he's looking it up, the airports would only be open for emergency landings only
00:14:17.360 and emergency medical service like Medivac transports.
00:14:20.260 Go ahead, Rob.
00:14:20.660 But all the regular flights would be, nope.
00:14:22.900 Go ahead, Rob.
00:14:23.400 We're doing absolutely everything we can. We have a national deployment office force and we've fully depleted that.
00:14:29.980 So at this point, we're fully stretched. And so, frankly, there's not much else we can do as the weeks continue.
00:14:35.900 If this continues, it's not hyperbole to suggest that we may have to quite literally shut down airports, particularly smaller ones.
00:14:43.380 If call out rates go up and we can't a lot of these officers can't afford to come in.
00:14:48.080 I talked to one officer this week. She's a single mother and she has a special needs child and she can't afford to pay for her special needs child's child care. 1.00
00:14:57.040 So, again, we're we I believe it's frankly unconscionable that we have Senate Democrats that are playing, you know, they're holding our folks financial livelihood hostage over political games, political partisanship.
00:15:08.860 So we really need to get back to normal order.
00:15:11.300 Well, don't you think this is going to be, you know, if you look at the capitalism, that this is going to be opening up other options in the marketplace that people are going to do, whether it's planes, trains, automobiles, people are going to find a way to go where they want to go.
00:15:23.580 Obviously, you know, listen, there's worse things than waiting a couple extra hours in the airport.
00:15:28.640 Nobody wants to do that.
00:15:30.040 I'm not condoning this.
00:15:31.160 I'm not saying this is good at all.
00:15:32.740 But if you need to get from Florida to Atlanta, all right, so maybe you take a train, maybe you take a bus, maybe you're driving.
00:15:39.640 I get it.
00:15:40.560 Nobody wants to do that.
00:15:41.700 Or you get to the airport a couple hours early.
00:15:44.360 It all sucks, but people are going to still maneuver and basically strategize to do what basically fits their life.
00:15:50.200 It's a disruption to lifestyle. 0.95
00:15:51.480 Of course.
00:15:52.040 I get it.
00:15:52.860 You want me to take a Greyhound from New York to L.A.?
00:15:55.360 It's three days.
00:15:56.400 I get it.
00:15:56.880 Two and a half days.
00:15:57.400 No, nobody wants to do that.
00:15:59.060 But in those instances, you're going to fly, and you're going to go to the airport three hours earlier.
00:16:03.880 If you're taking a flight from Miami to Orlando, maybe you just drive or take the train.
00:16:07.740 It's not a long line at TSA.
00:16:10.280 People are missing flights.
00:16:12.040 They're getting all the way up there, and they miss the flight.
00:16:14.900 They've paid money for that.
00:16:16.240 They've got to get back to school.
00:16:17.640 They have a business trip.
00:16:18.760 They're a salesperson.
00:16:19.660 They have to go see an account.
00:16:22.280 People are spending not just the inconvenience.
00:16:25.000 They're not getting there.
00:16:26.580 Yeah, and ready for this?
00:16:27.960 You know how many times I've traveled?
00:16:29.200 How many times I've traveled, Adam, where I've been on an airplane with somebody that's medically transferring an organ for someone that needs a surgery on the opposite side of the nation,
00:16:36.520 And they come on the flight
00:16:37.700 They bring the heart on ice
00:16:39.780 They get on the plane
00:16:40.440 Well let's get that guy first
00:16:43.120 You're going to bring up the most absurd
00:16:46.440 Bringing organs on the plane
00:16:47.880 That guy can go first
00:16:49.500 That guy's missing a flight
00:16:50.440 And this all is a party that has nothing left
00:16:52.780 I'm not defending
00:16:54.800 I'm not saying you are
00:16:57.040 This isn't like the end of the world
00:17:00.580 No it's not the end of the world
00:17:01.580 It's not going to stop because the president's not going to stop
00:17:03.880 He's not going to give in and he shouldn't
00:17:06.340 But this is, again, I want everybody to understand who the hell is doing it. 0.98
00:17:09.820 It's your freaking beloved Democratic Party. 0.99
00:17:12.140 They'd rather burn it all down than take away the votes from an illegal alien. 1.00
00:17:16.960 I'm with you on that.
00:17:17.960 I'm with you on that, Capitano.
00:17:19.200 Gang, one thing from me to you. 0.97
